Optimistic About America’s Future?
Don’t Be.

In his giant New York Times bestseller, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, Mark Steyn predicted collapse for the rest of the Western World. Now, he adds, America has caught up with Europe on the great rush to self-destruction.

It’s not just our looming financial collapse; it’s not just a culture that seems on a fast track to perdition, full of hapless, indulgent, childish people who think government has the answer for every problem; it’s not just America’s potential eclipse as a world power because of the drunken sailor policymaking in Washington—no, it’s all this and more that spells one word for America: Armageddon.

What will a world without American leadership look like? It won’t be pretty—not for you and not for your children. America’s decline won’t be gradual, like an aging Europe sipping espresso at a café until extinction (and the odd Greek or Islamist riot). No, America’s decline will be a wrenching affair marked by violence and possibly secession.

With his trademark wit, Steyn delivers the depressing news with raw and unblinking honesty—but also with the touch of vaudeville stand-up and soft shoe that makes him the most entertaining, yet profound, columnist on the planet. And as an immigrant with nowhere else to go, he offers his own prescription for winning America back from the feckless and arrogant liberal establishment that has done its level best to suffocate the world’s last best hope in a miasma of debt, decay, and debility. You will not read a more important—or more alarming, or even funnier—book all year than After America.

Mark reads this audible, which adds a lot (over America Alone - read by some other undocumented reader).

“Reading” this in late 2019, it still holds up quite well; reality is catching up to the predictions. I’m not sure that there’s too many others that can make you laugh while delivering such a depressing assessment of the world. If you’re familiar with Mark, you basically know the theme of what’s coming, but there is a ton of concrete examples that are new to me. Many books in this area (cultural demise) will leave you with a “what to do” chapter. This chapter is worth the investment, this is real-world / real-YOU stuff to act on.

A Brilliant, Unflinching Look at Western Civilization in Rapid Decline

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

As usual Mark Steyn manages to be hilarious, erudite, and dead-serious at the same time. He pulls no punches in After America, and while reading this excellent book, I frequently didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The author's command of the evidence is undeniable, and his vivid descriptions of the decline of Western Civilization are both frightening and familiar. Crushing debt, out-of-control immigration, denial, and near-universal insouciance are rapidly destroying the West -- right now.

Will the American people take heed of the dreary (and increasingly dangerous) state of our world and face up to our responsibilities as citizens of the sole super-power, or will we remain paralyzed and incapable of taking action until it is, quite simply, too late?

End Times?

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016

Mark Steyn is quite an entertaining writer/speaker, spot on on a lot of issues, on a number of issues I disagree with him but then I'm somewhat moderate in my political views, neither way right or left on most things. Well-wrtten and amusing. He has a talent for the entertaining turn of phrase. He's right about the deficit for one thing. If the country doesn't get a handle on its finances things will get dire fairly soon. His comparison of America and Britain and the onset of decline is quite interesting. On the nature of Islam and the threat it poses I'm afraid he's correct, it's simply the current phase of an historic clash of civilizations based on fundamentally different ideas. This is a problematic view of things, another inconvenient truth we're trying to avoid, but at the very least we should be having a vigorous debate about it and what we should do before it's too late. It's unfortunate how in America these days people with different views on things tend to dig in on their positions with a take no prisoners mindset. The Bible says, "Let us sit down and reason together".

Review for America Alone by Mark Steyn. I know it's in the wrong spot but I left it for those interested.in his books.Important read because the world ultimately does.reflect the actual demographics. This is an alarming tale by Mark Steyn. But the book is well researched and Steyn points out the alarming trends that will ultimately change the face.of the earth. It's a numbers game with demographics and the big loser is the culture and fiber of declining nation's whom don't produce enough off spring to keep their cultures alive . The big winners in the numbers game is Muslims and the big losers are everyone else.

Every liberal should read this, see where your stupid policies are leading. Free stuff is never free, the cost of free stuff is freedom. Sorry but utopia does not exist. Capitalism by far is not perfect, but it beats the hell out of every other system. Need I say Venezuela, liberals this is where your socialist ideas always end, no exception.

Mark Steyn Is Still Brilliant But This Book Didn't Say Much I Hadn't Already Learned

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have read other books by Mr. Steyn that I liked more than this one. His writing skills are still present but I found this book's message to be depressing. Over all I don't believe that I learned anything new here. This is because I am old and have been a reader of books & newspapers for many decades. And I listened to Rush Limbaugh for nearly 30 years until he died. Therefore I didn't enjoy reading a rehash of the serious problems that face the USA now. I didn't finish this book. I bought it on the strength of Steyn's other books I have read and because it was low priced these several years since it was written.

But I continue to enjoy Steyn when I hear him on radio and see him on TV. He is brilliant and fast on the uptake. Of all the substitutes who filled in for Rush over the years, I think Mark Steyn's manner and personality are the closest to Limbaugh's. I wish they had hired him to take over from Rush, i.e. if Mark is interested in the job.

Fantastic follow-up to America Alone

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

Mark Steyn follows up his last book "America Alone." Again, Steyn does a superb job of outlining the crisis America is in, and the steps we should take to avoid becoming the European disastrous experiment. Many admire the European state as a model for America, but Europe was able to become the highly socialist state because America picked up the tab of defending the moral order in the world. When someone else is paying to protect you, why not offer more "services" to your constituents?

I enjoyed the quote from Justice Marshall that sums up the growth of the federal government. "Industrial power should be decentralized. It should be scattered into many hands so that the fortunes of the people will not be dependent on the whim or caprice, the political prejudices, the emotional stability of a few self-appointed men. The fact that they are not vicious men but respectable and social minded is irrelevant."

This quote from Justice Marshall hits home with the basic understanding of our Constitution and its formulation of "rights."
As Steyn eloquently points out, "rights" as meant by the U.S. constitution is more geared to "negative rights"...."the right to be left alone by the government in respect of your speech, your guns, etc." Nowadays, rights are seen as "rights" to stuff granted by yours truly, the government (but paid for by you).

Chilling and yet hilarious

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

Mark Steyn has the rare and unique ability to use humour and wit to drive home points that are actually as serious as can be. In his previous book, 'America Alone', Steyn argued that the demographic and moral collapse of Europe meant that only America was left to uphold Western values and confront Islamist terrorism and Sino-Russian authoritarianism. In the time since he wrote the first book, he concludes now even America may be doomed.

Steyn concludes in this book that pork barrel spending by successive US governments, and similar social trends that brought down Europe now taking root in America means that now even America cannot morally or financially maintain its role as global protector. Instead, he foresees a future where, without American global protection, regional thugs like Chavez bully their neighbours, and at a global level where rampant and unchecked radical Islam forces countries to become even more submissive to their demands.

This book is a chilling, but informative read.

The Liberal aftermath.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2016

Most informative inquest on the destruction wreaked by the liberal so called elite 'thinkers'. Americans have only to study Europe to see the damage.
More proof is seen by the emergence of Mr Trump in the U.S. who has virtually been 'manufactured by Obama/Clinton. The liberal 'elite' have treated their citizens with contempt. Hopefully they are about to receive the Electorates contempt.

A fascinating book that covers American society from it's huge debt, to it's PC liberal descent into basically what can only be described as moral and financial anarchy of the worst irreversible kind. His analysis is factual backed up by a huge section of references. Europe is on the same track as America so it is hugely relevant to us non Americans.... just insert your own nationality it makes no difference if you are European!
A thoroughly readable book hard to put down.
